Following your group’s discussion time, please go on to working independently on this assignment:
Please read THIS ARTICLE and take notes in the following manner:
1. In the initial opening paragraphs, the author shares his personal perspective for why the title question, ‘what kind of citizens do we need?’, must be raised and considered. How do the examples from the past that he gives shape the reasoning for why he is asking this question?
As you read the remainder of the article, consider how he echoes the initial fears of the repetition of this catastrophic time in history with his points and questions he poses to the reader.
2. For each reading section, complete a short summary of the main point he is making. Record any reactions, connections, or questions that come to mind.
3. In the end, consider ways that this reading connects to Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” and other ideas put forth in other articles read this unit, so far.
Be prepared to discuss these ideas tomorrow in class, as well as for your group to present their synthesis perspectives on the role of education in a democracy.
